The Pat Connaughton Foundation is thrilled to share details and a short video regarding the first of 9️⃣ new #ConnaughtonCourts that will be built/refurbished this Summer, starting with the Lighthouse Youth Center in Milwaukee, WI! ⭐️🏀 This incredible partnership marks another significant step in our mission to empower and uplift our local communities by Increasing Access to Athletics for the next generation of student-athletes. We are grateful for the opportunity to support the Lighthouse Youth Center, a beacon of hope and opportunity for so many young people and families in Milwaukee. Through their supportive, hands-on approach, they are making a real difference in kids’ lives on the grassroots level. A unique and exciting fact about this new Court is that the Lighthouse Youth Center plans to engage current youth from their program to physically help with the refurbishment of this Court - allowing the youth to be involved in the process and really take ownership of their new space. Over the next several weeks, stay tuned for future updates on the Lighthouse Youth Center Court AND the unveiling of our other 8️⃣ new Courts in similar fashion!
